Recom bonus

Since recoms are the only com that doesn't get any level bonus, and since they're already trading hp for speed, I think it would be reasonable to give them a small jump range bonus per level. Maybe only 15-20% total at level 5. It also looks weird when your com gets bigger as it levels but the jump range stays the same. Not only does it feel like your com is getting slower, but you actually have to move closer to the target to jump since your com no longer fits in as small of a landing zone.

Just my ridiculous request of the day. :P

They get health.

Why do you take health for granted?

Recon comm is already really good situationally due to its ability to jump. It being available straight from level 0 gives tons of benefits such as being able to access otherwise unavailable mexes, juking snipe attempts, increasing expansion speed and generally being a super valuable ability.

Any module you add to the recon chassis automatically becomes more efficient for cost compared to other chassis simply because its given to a unit with the ability to jump. Thus recon commanders already get a huge level bonus.

Still think jump should be a recon-only module so the recon opener isnt' so different from other comms.

You could even put it in the L3 weapon slot to make it an expensive upgrade so you're giving up something big to get the jumpcomm. Then give it back the per-level-speed-morph.
